Half year day, half year night only really holds on the poles I guess. And it goes paired with a long twilight in between.

That’s one way to describe the guy, indeed.

Sometimes the Foul Bachelor Frog was (is?) used for gender-agnostic scenarios. Foul Bachelorette Frog is for specifically female things.

Wouldn’t EA be more Pride? Y’know, Pride & Accomplishment and all that jazz?

Diabel: Alright, looks like everyone’s grouped up. Get plenty of rest tonight, people! We leave at noon!

Player 2: *Groans* Noon?

Player 3: That’s so early!

Diabel: *Sighs* Alright. What about 1 o’clock?

Player 8: 1? Dude, come on!

Diabel: *Groans* God, fine! We leave at the crack of… 2:30, I guess. Lazy butts…

Player 4: Christ, I’m gonna have to set my alarm.

That only helps quiet down cars below 30 km/h. Above that speed, most noise is either rolling noise or wind noise.

That edit deserves extra kudos

I was in a train replacement coach the other week, and sitting behind me were some guys who were watching YT Shorts or TikTok (Probably the latter) over speakers. I didn’t have my own earphones with me, so I had to hear his shit the whole way through.

If I was any sharper, I would have asked: “What gives you the confidence that any random person nearby appreciates what you’re hearing?”

Oh damn!

It’s time to wake up Green Day!

#usdefaultism much?

Incentivising people to bone amidst falling birth rates is like addressing a broken leg by handing out painkillers.

“I did not expect the leopards to eat my face!” Said the woman who voted for The Leopards Eating Faces Party

*badum...* Y’know, no, this is so terrible, I will not finish the rimshot.

That would mean that instead of an engine, you’re lugging around a battery pack, which is just as heavy while giving you a fraction of the range of an engine. Not to forget that battery cells have only a finite lifespan.

Meanwhile, OHLE gives you infinite range and room for major weight savings. Plus you can keep running the same power system for decades.

Döner poutine, yes, though shoarma is common as well. But yeah, it’s great.

Kapsalon is potato nachos confirmed.

On another, somewhat unrelated note, I recall during the Brexit days that there was some British punk who hoped to make a point by burning an EU flag on video, but since the EU has rules on the flammability of fabrics, such as the ones used in flags, the flag wouldn’t catch fire.

I suspect that any modern force ambushed in a jungle, or any type of complex, unfamiliar terrain, by primitive fighters who know the place like the back of their hands will suffer.

There are stories of UK soldiers in the sixties being ambushed by a man with a scimitar, and it took them a while and several fairly serious injuries before they could line up a shot with their FALs.
Not to forget the Vietnam war which, despite the advanced force being a coalition led by the US, and said coalition resorting to torching the jungle and other war crimes, still ended being up a North Vietnamese victory.

The Endor force, while not outgunned, was maybe outnumbered and definitely outwitted.

The explanation for Stormtroopers’ shoddy marksmanship on screen in A New Hope is because Vader wanted Leia & company to escape, but by the skin of their teeth, so that they would basically drop their guard the instant The Falcon took off from the Death Star and not realise there was a tracker bug installed. If Vader just let them fly off unopposed, that would probably be hella sus, and they’d probably pull over at the first asteroid to find and chuck said tracker bug. So the Stormtroopers were specifically instructed to shoot to thrill, not to kill.

When faced with opposition without plot armour and reasons to keep them alive, Stormtroopers are fucking brutal, as seen in The Empire Strikes Back - Hoth was somewhere between a decisive Imperial victory and an Imperial Curb Stomp

Y’know, this is in this weird spot where it’s right between canon and as seen (which, by the way, can be explained even with canonical things). If it was truly as seen, the shots would have gone way wide. If it was truly canon, the Reps would be scrambling for a new candidate now.
